About Us

Summary of the historyAt the centennial, on 29 september 1894, 6 religious persons of the Congregation of Sisters of Love from Tilburg, the Netherlands had been deployed to Suriname. They started to work in the health care and education under very difficult circumstances. They founded the St.Vincentius Hospital in 1916, with a capacity of 70 beds. Initially this Congregation focussed on relieving the human suffering in the area of patient health out of charity. Gradually it became more professional and religious persons were trained and deployed to work as nursing staff.
